What is the rate of change and of speed and direction?
acceleration
What is term used to describe the rate of an objects movement?
Speed is the rate of movement in any direction based on change in position for a change in time. Velocity is a change in speed. It is also a change in direction while the speed does not have to change.
Compare and contrast speed and acceleration?
-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?
No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.
How is it possible for a moving car velocity to change but the speed to stay constant?
Velocity is a vector (has a size and a direction) but speed is a scalar (just a number). The velocity is therefore given by the speed and the direction the speed is going. If you change the direction but continue at the same rate the velocity changes but the speed doesn't

Can the velocity of a body be constant still varying its speed?
Yes. Velocity is rate (or speed) in a given direction. If you change your direction but not your rate (or speed) then you have changed your velocity without changing speed.
What is rate of change of position?
Rate of change of position = speedIf you also reveal the direction of the speed, then you have velocity.

-- "Speed" is the rate at which distance changes. -- "Velocity" is speed along with the direction of motion. -- "Acceleration" is the rate at which velocity changes, including the direction of the change.
What is the difference between speed velocity acceleration?
Speed is the rate of change in distance, whereas velocity is speed and direction of travel. Acceleration is the change in velocity (including direction).
The rate at which an object changes position is called what?
A change in position in a certain amount of time is called motion.
What is the name given to the change in speed or direction?
There is no special name for that. However, the rate of such a change is called acceleration.
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's while it is in motion do you know the acceleration of the object?
No. For you to know acceleration you need the rate of change of speed and the direction.

What does acceleration have to do with velocity?
Velocity is speed in a given direction Acceleration is the rate in which you change velocity.
